Ever see Manny Ramirez?

 

To quote Paul DePodesta:

 

"The variance between the best and worst fielders on the outcome of a game is a lot smaller than the variance between the best hitters and worst hitters."

 

I'm in the middle of an Albert Belle-esque study on how many more runs Alfonso Soriano brings to the team with his bat than grants the opposition with his glove.

 

Methinks he is far more valuable in terms of runs scored than his defense would ever hint at.

yes, but for WHO, thats what i cant figure out.

 

The Angels guys on ESPN radio out here are already crying in their beer.

 

I'd like to see a Soriano package bring us Figgins and Shields. That would be epic. But not likely after this MacDougal deal.

seattle, eh?

 

is that kid untouchable? Is that RF untouchable? Are we getting a whole lot less for him than what is swirling in my head.

 

*Head explodes*

yeah i cant understand who we would get from seattle....it really doesnt make a whole lot of sense....giving up brandon just to block the tigers is way too much to give up...

That and if Kenny finally took a giant leap away from his quick senses.

do you think NL only or only out of the AL central?

 

I'll go out on a limb and say an AL team. My reasoning is that it might be for a pitcher, and no AL team wants NL pitching. Soriano and Garcia/Vazquez for Zito? Iffy move for next year, but as long as we are speculating...

If that happened the deal would ultimately look like this

 

Soriano, BMac, and prolly 2 solid spects for Figgins and Shields

 

Of course, im just guessing what we would give up for Soriano but I would be pretty upset if we give the goods to get Soriano and then flip him for just that
